Should I Do a Clean Reinstall w/ Lion or SL Now?

[HappyDude20]

Awaiting Lion's release I've been planning on doing a complete reinstall on my MBP. I know its not needed and Disk Utility can tackle most of the job but i'm wanting to start from the beginning, as if I was buying a brand new Mac.

With the news that Lion will be a download from the App Store, I'm wondering if I should wait for Lion to be released and then be given the option to do a complete reinstall or do it a week before with my SL disk and then simply just download and install Lion the simple way.

Any advice?

Wait for Lion to be released and then burn or image to a usb stick the clean install image, it's within the download from the app store and just do a clean install from that when you boot from it. That's my plan

You can do a clean install with Lion:
